How fast is a 768k internet connection.

Solution

More than likely your internet download speed will be below 1.5 Mbps."

The reason for that is this

Many Companies like to use such sayings as 1Mbps!! to make it sound nice to the customer.. all it means is 1 MegaBIT per second which translates to (roughly) 1,000,000 / 8 = 125,000 bytes, or a maximum of 125KBps download speed

A 1.5 Mbps connection is 1500(Kbps) / 8 = 187KBps

A 768Kbps = 96KBps .. which is about the same as you are getting

A "Bit" is basically either a 1 or a 0, called Binary

A byte consists of 8 bits and that is why all those numbers above were divided by 8
